12. Mr. Lopez has an order for 5 mg Amlodipine (Norvasc) and you have 2 mg tablets on hand. Using the simple dosing equation:

How many tablets of Amlodipine (Norvasc) would you give to Mr. Lopez?
A.3
B.4
C. 1.5
D.2.5

To reach the indicated dose of amlodipine, Mr. Lopez has to take 2,5 tablets of 2 mg, that is, two and a half tablets, taking into account simple dosing equation.

Explanation:

The simple dosage equation is a way to perform calculations for the proper dosage of a medicine, relating parameters such as the desired dose, the available dose (in the hand) and the amount of medication according to its presentation (tablets, dragees, syrup, drops).

According to this, the equation to determine the dose is:

X = D / H x Q

Where:

X = 5 mg / 2 mg (1 tab)

X = 2.5 tablets.

2.5 tablets of amlodipine of 2 mg should be administered to Mr. Lopez to reach the indicated dose of 5 mg.

that would be called plucking : )

explanation:

''plucking, also referred to as quarrying, is a glacial phenomenon that is responsible for the erosion and transportation of individual pieces of bedrock, especially large "joint blocks". as a glacier moves down a valley, friction causes the basal ice of the glacier to melt and infiltrate joints (cracks) in the bedrock."
